— Mike G (@mgilliga) October 3, 2017 — Mike G (@mgilliga) October 3, 2017 My, oh my, how what was once (probably self importantly) considered the 'Mecca of Basketball' has all-but-crumbled right before our eyes. Just consider this for one second. There are Knicks fans that walked down the subway stairs dodging the requests of presumptuous panhandlers like they were thrust into some financially irresponsible game of 'Frogger', ignoring the scattering of disease carrying rodents that are only a lack or trash away from gnawing at their limbs, and instinctually limiting their breaths to avoid the undeniable smell of human piss. Yet, it took the arrival of their mode of transportation - that they were waiting for with hundreds of equally pissed off peers - for the presence of their favorite team's most well compensated players to have their spirits hit rock bottom. Now, I can't see this counterproductive promotion of the Knicks' organizational dysfunction lasting too long since Joakim Noah's salary is probably the only number higher than the amount of copyright laws broken here. In reality, this really speaks to FS1's desperation for even the most fleeting of attention more than anything, because the city where cynicism never sleeps didn't need a train car to tell them the New York Knicks will suck beyond a foreseeable solution. Still, the fact that an ode to their abject failure as a franchise fits in perfectly on an underground transit system that most closely resembles the depths of hell is pretty symbolic of how likely they are to get railroaded this coming season. P.S. Slapping Noah's jersey on a bench is just absolutely ruthless. Somehow, it's even more mean than making light of Whoopi Goldberg's featured role in a sports comedy that only made it impossible to suspend disbelief when the Knicks started to look promising.
